With the launch of Sentinel-1A in April 2014, a new era began for applications in the entire geospatial value chain. It was the first of the new fleet of ESA Earth observation satellites, which are poised to deliver the wealth of data and imagery that are at the core of Europe’s flagship Earth observation programme Copernicus.

The Copernicus Masters competition aims to support the development of market-oriented applications based on Earth observation data. It includes exciting topic specific challenges that are being awarded by an array of prominent partners, such as the European Space Agency (ESA), CloudEO, and T Systems. In 2016, the Catapult are supporting the Sustainable Living challenge.

Catapult Challenge

The Sustainable Living Challenge from the Satellite Applications Catapult is looking for innovative solutions that address the key challenges faced by the growing global population.
Applicants are encouraged to explore the integration of satellite Earth observation imagery with other sources of data to create a new or improved product or service. For further information on the Catapult’s challenge, please visit: http://www.copernicus-masters.com/
